A Shinobi's Love Struck

Chapter One

It was the time after the death of Danzo, a red-haired member of the Uzumaki Clan named Yuji Uzumaki, who is a Chunin-ranked ninja of the Hidden Leaf is sitting on the chair in the base camp.

"Now everything is under control, now the 4th great ninja is now started." Yuji Uzumaki said. "I planned to date any number of kunoichis someday."

As Yuji Uzumaki was sitting in the base camp, he heard some commotion outside. There were whispers and murmurs, and some of the ninjas were talking among themselves.

Suddenly, a few minutes later, the tent flap opened, and a female ninja ninja entered. She was quite attractive, with long silky hair and a slim figure.

The female ninja spoke up, her voice melodic and captivating.

"Excuse me, Uzumaki-san," she said. "Could I speak with you for a moment?"

"Sakura Haruno of Team 7." Yuji Uzumaki said.

The girl smiled slightly, a hint of blush visible on her cheeks.

"Yes, that's me," she confirmed. "I have something important to discuss with you."

"Well, I don't mind." Yuji Uzumaki said. "Since we're both Chunin."

Sakura nodded in agreement, glad that Yuji was willing to listen.

She took a seat across from him, her eyes serious. "I'd like your opinion on something. It's a matter of some importance."

Yuji leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Of course. What's on your mind?"

Sakura took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on Yuji. "It's about a teammate of mine," she began.

"He's not quite himself lately," she continued. "He's been distant, closed off, and it's causing tension within our team."

"And who was this teammate of yours?" Yuji asked.

His name is Sasuke Uchiha," Sakura said, her voice a mix of concern and frustration. "He's one of the most talented ninja in our village, but lately, he's been... different."

"You mean your teammate who was a rogue ninja that killed Lord Danzo." Yuji said.

Sakura's eyes widened in shock. "How do you know about that?"

She seemed taken aback by Yuji's knowledge of Sasuke's recent actions. It wasn't information that was widely known.

"I've witnessed the fight between Danzo and Sasuke. I figured out that Sasuke already found out the truth about Itachi's past actions." Yuji said.

Sakura's surprise turned to a mix of curiosity and relief. She had been struggling to understand Sasuke's behavior, but Yuji seemed to have some insight.

"So you saw the fight," she said, still a bit stunned. "And you think Sasuke's actions are connected to what he learned about Itachi?"

"He already knew that Danzo was the one who used Itachi to kill his clan for power." Yuji Uzumaki said.

Sakura felt a pang of empathy for Sasuke. She had always suspected that Danzo was behind the Uchiha massacre, but it was hard to prove.

"That must have been a crushing blow for him," she muttered, more to herself than Yuji. "To learn that his brother was manipulated like that."

"But it still doesn't explain why he's acting so distant and closed off lately," Sakura continued, her voice filled with concern. "I want to help him, but he just keeps pushing me away."

"His darkness still remained intact within him." Yuji said.

akura's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean by 'his darkness'?"

She had seen glimpses of Sasuke's darker side before, but it had never been this pronounced.
